Chasin' Waterfalls



Billed as the city’s biggest public art project since “The Gates,” The four giant waterfalls created by Danish artist Olafur Elliasson are made up of largely visible scaffolding, designed to match the scale of the surrounding buildings so it would blend into the urban landscape.




Dan and I went to see the Waterfalls yesterday. For the best views we decided to take a 3-hour circle line tour of the city, guaranteed to pass all four waterfalls.














We happened to have an awesome coupon, but the trip would have been worth it, even if we had to pay full price. And there was plenty to see, even if the Waterfalls aren't your thing.

Slow week...

Sorry. There hasn't been very much going on, so here's some new picks, again courtesy of Dan.

He moved his department to a new office, this is his view. Enjoy.
